I can't really call it "withdrawal " since I don't actually have it yet, however; I've been plannin, waiting and saving for over 4 yrs for my 2SS Vert, ordered in Nov and its being built next week. I had a TPW of 1/11, but like several others got bumped later. In the meantime, I sold the Camaro I had in anticipation of a late January delivery.

Its been in the upper 70s- low 80s all week/weekend and its driving me CRAZY waiting on my vert- especially while other lucky members (in 6 ft snow drifts) are taking delivery this week... not necessarily withdrawal, but its killin me just the same!!!!

i had the car parked all week and it was killing me and the wife, i could not imagine leaving it parked for 3 or 4 months. i dont see how you guys can do it but i do understand why road salt and bad drivers will ruin a car in notime.

Should be 81 degrees & SUNNY today for the big game!

Maybe I will go for a drive this morning...........

Sorry, this state sucks hard, so I have to grasp at whatever I got that's positive.

I completely agree. I bought the car to drive, not to look at. Well that's not 100% true -- I did buy it to look at, but not only to look at.

This is only my second everyday driver, the other was a 98' Camaro and that lasted 12 years for me. It's still around, I have seen a teenager driving it. And besides some peeling clear coat paint on the back bumper that car's body is in great shape. And I know for the 12 years I had that baby, it never spent a day inside a garage.

I may have to dig out my car every now and then, and it is pretty dirty right now, I know that it will clean up nicely when the time is right.

It's not like my 70' Dodge Challenger that would be eaten away with all of the salt. That is a seasonal drive only -- and currently in storage.

I'm hoping for a March 5th date to get the car out. That would mark 4 months of storage. I'm so tired of winter it's rediculous. I've been praying for spring since Christmas.

Definitely have withdrawl.... we put ours away in early November and only see her when we park next to her...we drive our "Winter rats" our Jeeps. Although, yesterday I was thinking how glad I am she is in the garage...in Upstate New York we had snow, rain, freezing rain, hail, and a thunder and lightning storm all in one day. Winter sucks this year
